Marvel Avengers Assemble takes £15.8m in UK opening weekend

Marvel's Avengers Assemble took an impressive £15.8 million at the UK box office at the weekend - making it the biggest Disney three-day opening of all time and the biggest superhero movie opening of all time.

The film - which was also the second biggest four-day weekend ever (behind Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with £16.5 million) - has already taken more than the entire UK box office runs of The Hulk (£8.29m), Captain America (£9.5m) and Thor (£14.05m).

The much-anticipated movie event has hit cinemas and is breaking as many box office records as it is breaking hearts. We sat down with Disney's Mike Stagg to learn more about the licensing plans for this epic title.
